What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that a quantum allowance (price reduction for larger hereditaments) should apply to two office units on a business park, citing rental evidence from a smaller neighbouring property. The tribunal found that although the original 2017 Rating List entry had included a quantum allowance, this was reviewed and removed following a prior tribunal decision on a neighbouring property, and that the limited rental evidence presented did not justify the proposed reduction to £56-£61 per m², so the Valuation Officer's £70 per m² was reasonable.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Brymor Contractors Ltd and Euclid Ltd, represented.
